Everything you need
December 4, 2017

E-Trade is the perfect online trading site. Very easy to use. It even has information with which one might educate oneself on the intricacies of trading. And a phone call brings you live, friendly help. E-TRADE makes trading fun!

Not the best
November 7, 2017

They provide excellent platform but I find that their customer support could be a little better. Fees are on higher range and they could do more to Cater to individual.

I attempted to open an account at E*Trade. I paid my debt to society. Yet they would not open an account for me. Not looking for credit just a trading platform.
When I asked for an explanation no response to my inquiry..

I thought E Trade was a great idea and would make my investment life so much simpler. Unfortunately, I was an early entry into the marketplace, and E Trade was totally unprepared and hadn't created the support and structure to operate. Literally, it took 3 days to execute on any orders. Then, the company was so difficult to work with and motivate. They were mean-spirited and unhelpful. I lost money simply because E Trade was useless and slow and out to lunch. Having worked with other securities brokers, I expected responsiveness during business hours. None. They came into this market without adequate employment to support customers, and refused to ratchet up to be there for customers, then insulted customers they had screwed over. They needed to have invested in their company. After experiencing losses due to E Trade's ineptitude, I wondered what the real back story was.

Very hard to work with. All online so no hard copies. My work had a stock option and used them. I would never choose them to work with.

Not bad
March 28, 2016

I have a bit of a mixed result with ETrade. The platform and app are pretty good. However the downside is that, Etrade doesn't always communicate to well with your bank. Makes it difficult to either deposit or withdrawal money on occasions.
